Honors Housing Options

Living in Honors housing is optional, but is encouraged because it offers a rich sense of community. Honors has several excellent housing options. Please note, though, that style of housing is not guaranteed. Placement is on a first-come, first-served basis.

The Hills Honors Living Center

Apartment style--2 persons per room with kitchenette and full bathroom

"I enjoy living in Hills Honors Living Center because our dorm reaches out to one another. We almost always have open doors welcoming others in. It has been an awesome transition into college while getting to know other freshmen so close by!" - Ann Smit

"Living in Hills has been amazing! It combines the traditional college dormitory experience of rooming with someone else and the freedom of having a kitchen and your own bathroom. Hills, unlike Niemeyer, is by all the other Freshman dorms and most of my classes, which is great for hanging out at night with friends or sleeping in a little bit longer before class. The memories I've made,and laughs I've had with my friends at Hills are some the best times I've had at GV so far; and I believe Hills Honors Living Center is one of the best places to live as a Freshman." - Grace Couture

The Pickard Living Center

Suite style--2 persons per room sharing a bathroom with an adjoining suite

Please note that space in the Niemeyer Learning and Living Center is very limited and usually goes quickly.

To be considered for Honors housing you must do the following:

Apply on the Housing website.

Complete the Meijer Honors College Application and be accepted into the program by the May 1 deadline.

Note: You must be accepted to Grand Valley before you can apply for housing or the Frederik Meijer Honors College.

Consider also other types of living/learning communities. In some ways, it is the best of both worlds to participate in Honors and live in a center which focuses on your greatest interests. See this page for the other living/learning community opportunities.
